Ex Oilers day around here...

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Wow. Good price tag.

 

[Soli]

Great signing, my only problem with it is that its not 2 years, cause I'd like to trade the mercenary.

 

[Jumptheshark]

hands up

who saw this one coming?

not me

 

[The Bored Man]

Credit where it's due: Brodziak and Rieder, at those contracts, are quality depth acquisitions.

(Disclaimer: I thought that about Jokinen last year)

 

[McDNicks17]

Did not see that coming.

Great pick up.

 

[Cerebral]

I love this signing and the dollars sand years give younger guys like Caggiula and Puljujarvi a chance to earn more minutes.

Rieder and Brodziak help fix the PK. Give me a right shot defenceman who can anchor the powerplay and I feel good.

 

[Aerchon]

Wow.

That is an amazing contract.

I thought he would want far more and need term. Draisaitl must be part of this. Too good.

 

[Mr Positive]

That is the type of signing we need. 1 year, and gives us an option

 

[CupofOil]

This forces Puljujarvi and Yamamoto to really earn their minutes. That can't be anything but a positive regardless of what you think of Rieder.

 

[LTIR]

We are good enough up front now.

Somehow add Faulk on D and call it an offseason.

also gives Lucic some competition to earn minutes

 

[McDNicks17]

Will be handing out infractions to those who spell it "Reider".

You have been warned.

Yamamoto is not on this team due to this signing

 

[Spawn]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but will he be an RFA next summer with this deal?

 

[Hynh]

I guess part of the allure for Rieder is the Germany game.

 

[StevenF1919]

I like this signing a lot. Rieder's a great bottom 6 guy who can play up in the lineup if needed.

It's 40 degrees over here right now.

I'm grumpy.

Oooo?

[kurtcobang]

Perfect depth signings. Guys who bring the depth and pk ability are more than welcome. And bravo for not having a bunch of unused cap space all season while we have guys drowning in roles they are not ready or able to fill!

 

[A91]

f*** yes
LW/RW/Smart/Speedy/PK/PP

Great move

Yamamoto is not on this team due to this signing

I wouldn't count that kid out. For instance, I don't think Rattie and Cagguila should be locks to make the roster. Even Puljujarvi shouldn't be a lock if he can't outplay Yamamoto in preseason.
